Each year, Augsburg Fortress Publishers sends a
Christmas card to the composers they publish. "One year, I
received a lovely card with a beautiful winter scene and a wonderful
poem by Melva Rorem. The card sat on my piano throughout the entire
holiday season where I could enjoy it daily." The
beautiful poem on the card was the genesis for this evocative song,
especially appropriate for Christmas Eve. See the card -
hear the music - and enjoy the musical "reflection" of this
lovely scene.
